Debating Catholicism - Paperback

This omnibus volume contains the complete text of four books: The Bible Battle, High Desert Showdown, Tracking Down the True Church, and Face Off with an Ex-Priest. They are edited transcripts of public debates Karl Keating had with prominent anti-Catholics, men who devoted all or large parts of their careers to opposing the Church of Rome and its distinctive teachings.

The topics discussed and the arguments used, on both sides, are perennial. So, unfortunately, are the misconceptions and imprecisions exhibited by Keating's opponents. He tried to correct those misconceptions and adjust those imprecisions in the heat of public exchanges. How did he fare? Was the Catholic faith vindicated or vanquished?

Karl Keating is the author of Catholicism and Fundamentalism, Booked for Life: The Bibliographic Memoir of an Accidental Apologist, The New Geocentrists, the How to Fail at Hiking series, and other works. His avocations include backpacking, studying languages, and playing the baroque mandolino. His author website is karlkeating.com.
